Looking at this another way, a bog-standard Battle Sister costs almost twice as much as a Guardsman, but sports a much better save and +1S on her gun. Compared to the lowly Tactical Marine, they have one less Toughness and Strength and correspondingly only cost 75% as much (meaning that for every 3 Tactical Marines you field, you could field 4 Battle Sisters). The basic Battle Sisters sport a boltgun and the standard T3/S3/3+ profile common across Sisters. Credit: Games Workshop Battle Sister Basic Troops Guess which of these models you’re going to want in all of your Kill Teams. Oh cool, a special rule named the same as an existing specialism. This is obviously very useful and should be a clue that your Zealot or Combat specialists should probably one of these two datasheets. Zealot: Shared by Sisters Repentia and Arco-Flagellants, this ability grants models full hit re-rolls when charging or when charged. The 6++ is fine, but won’t often come into play in a game where plasma is the thing you’re often scared of as a power armour user. Shield of Faith: Battle Sisters and Sisters Repentia both share this ability that grants models a 6+ invulnerable save plus a 1D6 Deny attempt. On the plus side, this is one less decision to make when building your roster, so there’s that. Really, GW? You release rules for Sisters in a post-Elites world but don’t include rules for the various major orders? grumblegrumblegrumble At the same time, they don’t have quite the robust stat-line of Marines so they fall into a similar camp as Ad Mech in that they have to play somewhere in between hordes and elites and adapt to every game. Sort of in Between: Like Ad Mech or Space Marines, Sisters don’t have spammable 5-7 point bodies, with their lowest-priced model sitting at 9 points. The tactics they have are decent to good but they could really use more. Limited Tactics: Discounting Commander tactics (which I do), Sisters only get 4 tactics, which is just not a lot. Lack of Long Range Firepower: Aside from a single heavy bolter, you don’t really have any long-range options, meaning your T3 models are going to spend a lot of their time in charge range. Versatile: While limited in options, Sisters have both shooting and combat strength and answers to both elites and hordes, so you can adapt to different match-ups nicely. Most of your Warhammer 40k terrain can also be used in Kill Team.Beautiful Models: The Sisters range is the newest plastic model range around and the models are fantastic! Fielding a Sisters Kill Team today probably means using the models from the new Army Set and they are a real joy to build and paint.ĭecent Board Control: A reasonably equipped Sisters Kill Team will be fielding 7-8 models, which gives you good board control in both 3D and Arena games compared to “elite” teams, while also being quite a bit more survivable than “horde” teams. If you want to download the rules for the Kill Team, you can here! If you want a much smaller game to play, why not try it for free? The Assault Intercessor Sergeant is worth a mention on his own – once armed with a power fist or thunder hammer, he’s a terrifying powerhouse of the Emperor’s wrath in close combat. The Intercession Squad is a fully fleshed-out kill team, with a complete set of rules including Equipment, Tac Ops, Strategic Ploys, and Tactical Ploys. ![]() However, if you don’t have Space Marines, you will have to settle for the core rules, but hey, some free rules are better than no free rules! This is pretty cool as there are so many people with Space Marines, so getting free rules to play a new game is always fun. In addition to the core rules, the Intercession Squad Kill Team will get you right into the action with a band of six powerful Primaris Intercessors or Assault Intercessors – which you can mix and match to suit your tactics. If you want to download the rules for Kill Team, you can download them here! Or if you prefer the depths of a space hulk to the barrens of Octarius, you can wait a few short weeks until we release the next big box set – Kill Team: Into the Dark.
